You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 408

Three months later, Clarissa and Matthew were doing great.

They had stopped puking. Instead, they ate well and slept well. Matthew’s couvade was also gone. Therefore, he had put on weight and recovered the shine on his face.

Both of them were happy and so was Damian.

After all, since his sister no longer tormented his parents, he finally dared to touch Clarissa’s stomach.

In fact, he would do so before and after school. Whenever he touched it, he could feel her growing gradually in Clarissa’s tummy.

Soon, Clarissa’s bump began to expand.

“Mommy, when will my sister be out? I have prepared a lot of presents for her.”

At school, Damian had made many handicrafts and drawings. He had wanted to present all of them to his sister.

Unfortunately, he had asked the question one too many times.

“You will have to wait for the new year. Your sister will be out then.”

“That’s still a long time away…”

After counting with his fingers, Damian went to strike off the dates on the calendar. He would repeat the gesture every day in anticipation of his sister’s arrival.

Meanwhile, Catherine had arrived in D City. Given that the weather was getting warmer, Clarissa wanted her to stay longer. In fact, she even hoped that Catherine could stay permanently.

After all, she was getting old and Clarissa was worried about her returning to her hometown alone. Furthermore, she was concerned that the reporters would hound her once in a while.

As some time had passed since Hilary’s murder, the controversy that ensued gradually died down.

Every day, the netizens turned their focus onto patriotic events and celebrity relationships.

Separately, Shermaine’s career in showbiz had taken flight. Not only did she reinvent herself as someone who had turned over a new leaf, but she had also ventured into the business industry. Other than acting, she was rumored to have taken over her father’s business. Moreover, she planned to expand into the entertainment industry by both investment and acting. By doing so, she would make another attempt at achieving greatness.

Just when Shermaine’s fortune was on the rise, she would undoubtedly be compared to Clarissa.

Many netizens were undecided on who was more successful given the myriad of opinions out there.

Although Clarissa didn’t care for it, Shermaine did.

Clarissa’s focus was now on the baby and the progress of her movie.

As Justin had taken complete control over the production of the movie, Clarissa sent a representative to sign a new contract with him. She wanted to act professional and be fair to him by at least ensuring he wouldn’t make a loss.

Nevertheless, they still got a good deal as having Justin direct a romantic movie was still considered overkill.

From the netizens’ perspective, it would lower Justin’s legendary status. At the same time, many others were looking forward to seeing what Justin could do with an innocent love story.

Compared to Clarissa, Justin’s popularity hyped the movie up even further. Many more were interested to see a romantic movie directed by Justin. Therefore, the change of directors garnered a lot of goodwill on behalf of the movie.

When Yael went to Zen Highlands to see Clarissa, she couldn’t help but praise the perfect timing of her pregnancy.

“Think about it, if not for the child, you would still be directing the movie and it wouldn’t have generated the buzz it currently enjoys. Even though Ryler is in it, it still wasn’t enough. But with Director Yates taking over, the movie’s stature has automatically been elevated. This is a pleasant surprise indeed!” Yael exclaimed bluntly.

Clarissa squirmed her lips. “Yael, are you saying that you weren’t confident in me directing the movie in the first place? Why did you agree then? Aren’t you worried that the studio would make a loss?”

Bursting into laughter, Yael responded candidly.

“To be honest, I wasn’t optimistic about your directorial skills. But, we wouldn’t end up making a loss as you are still highly popular. Given that this is your love story with Mr. Tyson, I’m sure we could make a decent profit still.”

“Haha…”

Clarissa responded with a sarcastic laugh so that Yael would reflect on her comments.

Coincidentally, Damian had finished school and Matthew was carrying him in. His face lit up the moment he saw Yael.

“Ms. Fleming, it’s been a long while. I have missed you.”

“Oh, what a sweet talker you are! You’re certainly better at it than your mom.”

Pretending not to get the joke, Damian walked up to Clarissa and stroked her stomach. “Hi there, it’s your brother here. Once I’m done with dinner, I’ll tell you a story. Today, I learned a new one.”

Yael’s eyes sparkled as she watched Damian.

After Matthew brought Damian upstairs to change, Yael suddenly remarked, “Given the qualities your son has and the resources at your disposal, we should get him into showbiz. Adorable kids are all the rage now. Give Damian a chance! I’m sure the entire nation will love him. When he grows older, he will become a hunk…”

“Stop! Yael, since when did you become a scout?”

“Not me. The studio has plans for expansion. I’m sure we’re able to groom a couple of celebrities. What do you think? Sign your son up, and he will definitely be a crowd favorite.”

“No. Why don’t you ask Matthew?”

Yael was stumped. “Forget it. Take it that I never asked.”
